Hi Chris, thanks for the advice.
OK, will add owl:sameAs properties to dbpedia - we don't have
wikipedia links for everyone, but we do for enough people to make it
worthwhile.
The links to eg. wikipedia use the property <http://qdos.com/schema#wikipedia
>, is there something we can usefully make those properties a
subPropertyOf? I would have liked to use the FOAF site membership
properties, but they're unhelpful for the particular data we're trying
to handle.
